Finding ways to blow up things and especially your own code is an important skill for every developer and designer. If I learned one thing in my first serious programming job (where we couldn't just do a quick deploy on a central server), it's that you should always try to come up with scenarios that will make things break, both in the planning and in the testing phase.

I thought that's common sense, that's why I am not getting the hate. You can learn a lot from projects like this, even if it's only the approach.
